In our unjust and oppressive revenue

man in ten thousand can understand.

and government olHclals thrive by in
volving honest, well meaning citizens

ted openly every day In some fchnpo or
other by every business man in the
community; not Intentionally, but on
account ol Its difllcultios. For threo
months not ubuslncss man in this coun
ty had a license, yet they wero techni
cally us guilty as Martin I3illmoyer,and
deserved punishment, if ho did.
Tho best answer to this malicious
charge Is tho extract which wo publish
below, taken from tho Montour Amer-
ican, a Hadical newspaper published at
Mr. Elllniyer's homo by an ex-deputy
Assessor, who knows of what ho speaks.
Mautin Billmeyek. It will bo re
membered by our readers that Martin
Dlllmoyor, a citizen of this county, was
prosccutod and convicted in tho Dis
trict Court of tho U. S at Williams
port, some timo ago. There was no
chargo against him for defrauding the
Government out of any tax, that was
its due; except that ho distilled sovcral
days after his Ilcenso expired, in order
to work off tho stock on hand; hut up
on theproduct of which ho paid the tax
in full.
Owing to some technicalities of tho
law, in regard to signs and marks re
quired by tho Government, he was con
victed as wo said boford, and sentenced
to an imprisonment of six months and
ono thousand dollars flno Involving the
confiscation of about ono hundred bar
rels of liquor, valued at somo fifteen
thousand dollars. This loss reduced him
to comparative poverty.
Tho imprisonment, with tho loss of
his property.so wrought upon his mind
that his spirit was broken, nnd in tho
madness of despair, ho committed sui
cide. His dead body was found in tho
Jail yard nt Willlamsport, on Wednes
day of last week. Ho had cut his wrists,
thejugular vein, and had also stabbed
himself, with a common pocket knife.
Ills funeral was attended by a large
concourso of neighbors and citizens, as
tho man was known nnd respected by
tho community. So ended tho life of
Martin Uillmoyer; but who is to blame
for this sad and mournful termination
of his existence? Whnt comparison is
there between tho alleged erlmo and
the fearful denouement t
In tho ilrst place it Is owing to tho
law itself, which gives tho advantago
to tho informer, and tempts tho cupidi
ty of every loafer or sharper who would
fatten on tho life-blood of his fellows, to
sneak out, return nnd proseeuto tho un
wary, not for defrauding tho Govern
ment, but for having ignorantly viola
ted somo technical provision of tho law.
Thc-so harpies becorno tho witnesses in
tho case, and as they get half of tho
fines, their testimony may well bo im
aglncd. No, Martin Billmeyerdld not
owo tho Government a slnglo penny;
but such nro tho intricacies of tho pres
ent iloveniio Laws, tlint no common
mortal can fully comprehend them, ami
every man In business is exposed as an
easy proy to tho sharpers who nro over
on tho alert to profit by tho falluro of
those who unconsciously vlolnto its
manifold provisions.
Wo only repeat tho earnest sentiment
of all parties in this locality, when wo
chargo tho murder ofMartiu BHImoycr
upon those who drovo him to despera
tion; not to protect tho Government,
but to fcccuro a portion of his gains.
Conscious of no crimo, ho could not
bear tho weight upon his mind, and ho
sank beneath tho blow. Ho has gono
to tho grave; but his reputation as a cit
izen and osan honest man, stands far
above those who hunted him down, un

THE THIA1.S.
The Witness Ciiaulkh M. Doimons
James M'llenry, Esq, of Cambra Lu
zerno county, was arrested at daylight
on tho morning of Aug. iltst, 'CI, nnd
hurried across, four miles, to Dun ton
church In this county, where tho other
prisoners wcro assembled. Without ex
amination ho was then taken with tho
others to Fort Mtfilln and was kept In
confinement until lu December, orfora
period of moro than threo months. At
tho cud of that time ho was Informed
thai the military authorities had nothing
against him nnd was discharged mid
permitted to return homo. And who
was James M'llenry V A merchant of
Cambra, of Intelligence and character,
who had committed no offonso nor giv
en tho slightest provocation for his ar
rest to tho military authorities. His
standing in tho community was attes
ted, subsequent to his imprisonment,
by his election und ro-clectlou to the
Legislature as a lteprcscntatlvo from
Luzerno county. When arrested ho had
his n imo upon a note In Hank, along
with Edward Hughes, for tho amount
of $2,000 to ralso bounties for volunteers
to fill tho quota ot Huntington town
shin. Mr. McHenry's nrrost was uiion tho
information, it is believed, of Charles
M. Dodsun a young man of Benton
township who had been lu tho army
but was at home on leave. Engaging
In tho business of government informer
runner and witness, ho had his leave
extended and thus escaped active ser
vice nnd danger for many months. IIo
took witnesses to tho military camp in
Benton against D. L. Chapln, E-q. und
perhaps others, gavo information him-
sclf,.uid wasatHarrisburg several times
as runner and witness.
Dodson's story against James M'Hen
ry was that ho had heard tho latter
make a speech in opposition to thodraft,
a speech of an iufhimatory and disloyal
character, in the fall of 16C3 lu tho up
per end of Benton township. Upon
tills statement of his, which was a coin
pleto falsehood, the arrest and long im
prisonmentof Mr.M'Henry wero based.
Tho facts were, that at tho meeting in
question (which was held pending tho
election for Governor in 1803) political
speeches of an ordinary character wero
madu by a Mr. Wagner (who had been
a soldier and a Republican) and by
others. James M'llenry being present
anil called upon made some remarks In
favor of Judge Woodward, tho Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, stating
his personal knowledge of him nnd of
his high fitness and character as a can
didate. Confining himself to that sub
ject his remarks wero brief and had no
reference whatever to tho draft or any
other general question of discourse r
debate.
Ascertaining by good fortuno what
testimony Dodson proposed to glvo
ngalnst him before tho Military Com
mission, Mr. M'llenry prepared him
self for trial in tho most effectual man
ner and urged that his caso should bo
heard. For a moth or moro however
tho prosecution delayed the hearing
whllo efforts wero made to securo ad
ditional cvidenco against him. Mr.
Wellington Hughes of Cambra, an hon
orable gentleman and a Republican, was
asked to become a witness ngalnst his
neighbor; in fuct wo believe ho was
sent for or brought from ono of tho
western states to testify. But lie de
clared ho know nothing against Mr.M'
Henry. Additional witnesses falling
tho prosecution and a largo number of
reputable men standing ready to con
tradict Dodson, tho further persecution
Mr. M'llenry had to bo abandoned.
Dodson, utterly discredited and impo
tent for further mischief, could only
make tho wretched and miserable ex
cuse, that he had been mistaken that it
teas not James M'llenry who had made
the disloyal speech, but another man.
Dodson's father had resided for years
about two miles from Cambra and tho
family wero accustomed to trado at tlmt
place. Sir. M'Henry's storo and Mr.M'
Henry himself wero as well known to
them all, as was any placo or man In
tho wholo country. It wus therefore
just lmpossiblo that youngDodson could
have mistaken any other person for
James M'llenry at the Benton meeting
ori803.
But if wo turn to somo other circum
stances in Dodson's career wo shall bo
still better able tojudgo him nnd nssign
him his due placo in our history. Prowl

tho Just homngo which weakness pays

quite a charming event in tho .family
history, especially to tho females and
children (who always duly appreciate
"a hold soldier boy,") had it not been
for tho discovery that along with his
dlsappoaranco from tho premises a
watch had disappeared also! Tho co
incidenco of tho two facts tho depart
ure of tho man and tho departure of tho
watch occasioned somo uucharltablo
reflections and provoked some passion.
It held also to ujudlclal poeeedlng. Mr.
Adnm Benscotor, tho owner of tho
watch, sworo out a warrant before Esq.
Monroo for tho apprehension of Dodson
as an offender against tho laws, and Mr,
Constablo Houme wasput upon his track,
But Dodson's lino of retreat had carried
him out of Luzerno Into this county. IIo
wasueyondthorenchofLuzernoofllclals
Subsequently an Ineffectual attempt
was niado to arrest him In tho town of
Benton upon tho Luzerno warrant which
had been brought over tho lino. Ho and
his brother Ellas resisted tho arrest,
(tho latter in tho mcleo striking and
disabling Mr. Preservo Conner with
an axo, ) nnd thoy finally got off.
Then tho brother ran nway from
tho neighborhood to escapo punish
ment for his axo performance, but
Charles himself upon a trial at Blooms,
burg for resisting; tho arrest, escaped
conviction upon tho legal point that
authority to oxecuto tho warrant had
not been duly conferred In this county
upon tho person who attempted to en-
forcoit. Tho wholo of this sorry busi
ness of tho watch was finally ended by
Dodson'a paying tho sum of Fifty Dol
lars for its adjustment.
Let us pause just at this point and
tako ono earnest look at this caso of
James M'llenry. If ho had been taken
before a Judge or any ordinary magis

Justlco to tho memory of n puroand up

should not bo concealed.
After tho "Hnrriet Lano" had been
built aud equipped, her commander
notified tho Secretary of tho Treasury
that alio was ready for a trial trip down
tho Chesaneako Bay. and that ho (the
Secretary) and such friends ns lie saw

vessel had been named, was also, ono of
mo puny, xnoy wcro aosent auout a

expedition was not sought beforehand,
and was not given afterwards. But as
soon ns ho was informed that tho trial
trip of n publlo vessel had been turned
into a pleasuro excursion In which his
owu family aud tho officers of his ad
ministration had participated, ho be
came intensely dissatisfied und declared
that tho expenses should not bo borno
by tho treasury. But how to prevent It
wns tho question. To reject the account,
if presented at tho proper department,
would be, In tho last degree, otl'unslvo
to thoso who had accepted tlio invita
tion in tho full faith that thero was
nothing improper In doing so. Mr.
Buchanan dealt with tho subject in tho
only way which was reconellablo, at
once, with delicacy to them, and Justlco
to tho public. Ho directed that tho
bills should not bo presented to tho ac
counting officers, but sent to himself to
bo paid out of ills own private pocket.
Mr. Cobb, hearing Indirectly of tho
President's Intentions, anticipated him
by getting tho bill before it reached tho
Piesidcnt, nnd paying It himself. Tho
bill I speak of, covered tho extra ex
penses of tho trip, or nil thoso beyond
what tho vessel would have incurred If
sho had mado tho trip with nobody on

Republican Convention.
Tho faithful of tho rcmnlnlug few of
tho Republican party of Columbia coun
ty held n Convention lu tho Court Houso
nt this placo on Monday uflernoon lost.
On tho ringing or tho bell, nt 1 o'ciock,
tho delegates wcro observed wending
their way Into tho Convention, and out
of curiosity I concluded to becomo ono
of tho spectators. Tho ntteudanco was
Him, nnd the proceedings not In tho
least harmonious. Ono third or tno
Districts not being icpresentcd tho Con
vention organized with about thirty
delegates, nnd tho outsiders not exceed
ing that number.
Mr. W. H. Abbott, dclcgato from
Ciituwlssn, after sitting in profound si-
lenco for somo time, moved that tho
Convention como to order by tho ap
pointment of Major Isaac S. Monroo
Chairman. This wns objected to by Mr.
Bradley, who claimed tho right to call
that body to order, ho being tho Chair
man of tho County Comnilttco. Tho
point of order was well taken nnd tho
Catawissn delegato wilted into his seat.
After a few moment of consultation
and tho nrrnnglng of tho programme,
Mr. Bradley mounted tho rostrum nnd
In his sweet musical volco called tho
august body to order. Immediately
tho heavy delegato of Bloom nominated
John Hnrtman, of Hemlock, as Presi
dent, and Wm. II. Abbott renewed tho
nomination of Mr. Monroo. Mr. Brad
ley seemingly not willing to havo a
voto on tho pending nominees, or un
able to determine how tho bnliotshould
bo taken, tho candidate for the chair on
tho cast sidoof tho rivcr,Mr.Monroe,ro
spcctfully declined tho honor ho felt so
certain of receiving, and Mr. Hartman
was then called to the chair. Xospeech.
At this point Mr. Monroo inquired
tho order of business but was not recog
nized by tho chair.
On motion of tho heavy delegato of
Bloom, W. M. Monroe and Mr. Miller
of Centre wero elected Secretaries. An
alphabotic.il list of townships was then
prepared and called over, the delegates
answering to their nnmes. It being as
certained that thero was a quorum pres
ent, tho Chairman announced tho Con
vention ready for business, whereupon
Robert S. Howell, a fifth rate lawyer of
Scott township, drew himself up fioni
his scat, drawling out at tho same time
that ho "would llko to make a sugges
tion or two." No ono objecting,ho com
menced by saying that ho was In favor
of a "fusion ticket," that ho thought
thero WMSome chanco of clectingsucli a
ticket. IIo alluded, in a very unbecom
ing manncr,to several of tho candidates
on tho Democratic ticket, when a certain
delegato observing his remarks wcro
moro calculated to receive hisses than
applauso.pulled him down by tho slack
part of Ills breeches.
Tho Convention not receiving tho sug
gestions of Mr. Howell favorably, pro
ceeded to mako straight nominations.
Tho nomination of Capt. John Staley,
of Pine, for County Commissioner was
first made. It Is not necessary that I
should writo this man's political hUtory
as nlno-tcnths of your readers aro al
ready familiar with it.
William A. Barton, of Scott, was
nominated for Register and Recorder
unanimously. IIo fought tho rebellion
awhile, nnd of courso tho Republican
party are in f.ivorof the soldier holding
office, especially lu tho strong Demo
cratic counties.
James Kester, of Franklin, was nom
inated for Associate Judge. IIo is the
samo old fossil who holds the position of
Judge by appointment. Of courso no
body expects him to bo elected.
Gilbert II. Fowler, of Centre, was
forced to receive tho nomination of
Treasurer. Ho has been leeched out of
ticket bills on several occasions.
By tho way ho Is a very respectable
man, but can't hold tho purso-strlugs of
Columbia county this time. It is talked
about pretty strongly in Democratic
quarters of electing Mr. Loweuberg this
fall by not less than a couple of thous
and majority. Gilbert II., hadn't you
better withdraw and save an exhibition
of your weacnoss?
Tho Borough of Berwick received ono
of tho nominations in tho person of
Garrick Mallery for Auditor. Ho is not
extensively known to tho peoplo of the
county, and no ono complains of this
nomination unless himself. If ho can
bo elected County Auditor there is no
danger of his election being contested.
At thlsstagoof tho proceedings Major
Monroe, who had been very quiet for a
whllo, moved that certain gentlemen of
his own selection, naming them, bo ap
pointed ns Standing Committee for tho
ensuing year. Tho Committee was
headed with tho namo of Wm. II.
Abbott. Capt. Whitmoycr, tho weighty
Delegato of Bloom, offered as an
amendment tho additional namo of
Wm. II. Bradley and that he bo Chair
man. This amendment was earnestly
opposed by Monroe. Ho said that fair
ness should bo done; tho Chairmanship
had been given to Bloom too long, Cat
awlssa was entitled to that position;
Dr. John had served in that capacity
till lie swelled tho Democratic majority
in tlds county up to 2,000; Bradley wns
following in his (John's) foolstcps, and
If this stato of things' was to continue,
tho Democratic majority would soon
reach 3,000, that it had been tho cus
torn of tho Chairman to tako their mon
ey and cut tho pllo In two parts, put
ouo half in his own pocket, and whoro
tho other half went to, the dl only
inew; that Catawlssa received as many
malls per day and was just us conveni
ent n place for the Chairman to resldo as
Bloom. Ho was not willing that tho
llepublican clique In Bloom should ban
dlo allofthospolls.aud that It'was high
tlmo tho Republlcnn'party takodcclsivo
action In tho matter.
This llttlo, but apparently very earn
est, speech called out a reply from tho
cool, logical, and argumentative dolo-
gato of Bloom. Aftor all his learned
talk, to convlnco tho Convention that
tho Chairmanship should not bo placed
anywhero In tho neighborhood of tho
"Uld Pharlseo," Mr. Bradley was not
satisfied that his courso as Chairman
was altogether approved or free from
censure, and upon leavo being granted
ho mado a statement to tho Convention
In which ho fogged tho wholo subject so
completely that upon taking a vote tho
amendment of Whitmoycr making
Bradley Chairman was largely carried"
A few of tho outsiders, In sympathy
With that parly, wcro disposed to ac
count for Monroo's dofeat from tho act
that thero woro but five delegates pres
ent from tho east sldo of tho river.
Mr. Monroo Improving this oppor
tunity took loavo of tho Convention ;
but beforo going outsldo of tho bar of
tho Court Room called tho attention of,
BLOOMSBU11G, COLUMBIACOUNTY, BiV.
and nddrcsscd tho Chair, in these words:
"This Convention will do mo the
kindness to not nomlnnto mo to nny
ofiko for I don't belong to tho party."
This retiring speech of tho Major
created qulto a sensation nmong the
delegates, and had tho effect to Impeuo
tho progress of tho Convention very
much; however, tho remaining dele
gates recovered from tho Bhock when It
wns discovered that no Prothonotary
nomination had been mado.
On motion of somo timid delegate,
(I could not ascertain tho would-be
prominent follow), Mr. Hiram R. Cool,
of Ronrlngcreek, was nominated for
Prothonotary by acclamation. This act
wns very generous on tho part of tho
Convention, to glvo llttlo Roarlngcrcek

when wo consider tlint tho township

In timo to savo himself. Daniel A.
Beckley, now Post Master, was then
invited out, who came forward with a
light fantastic step, bowing nnd scrap
ing till ho reached tho centre of the
ring, when ho commenced by saying ho
would not mako n speech, as ho had
made no preparation ; but it gave him
pleasuro to talk to his Republican
friends; tliathohad contributed ns much
towards tho success of President Grant
as "any other man," nnd so had his Re
publican friends in tho county, they

State Geary was a bravo soldier, a
statesman and a patriot no uso talking,

The convention adjourned after this
out-burst of eloquonoo and encourage

"Xho Globe."
Iu these days when most prudent men
aro Insuring their lives, wo llko to look
around nnd sco lu what companies such
investments can most safely bo made.
Wo woro led to do so not only for tho
purpose of doing our duty of giving
public information, but becnuso wo felt
that wo too should avail ourselves of
tho beneficent advantages of lifo in
surance. Our investigations havo shown
us that ono of the best companies in
tho United States is the Globo Mutual
.Lifo Insurance company of Now York.
Wo will attempt to cnumerato somo of
its advantages as wo learned them.
1. It is a mixed mutual. That 1?,
whl'oits Directors are stock holders and
pecuniarily Interested in its stability
nnd economical iuniiaemcnt,thc profits
go to tho injured. For tho safety of
their money invested in stock thoy have
to tako caro of that of the Policy holder.
2. It is organized under tho Now
York Insuranco Laws; laws which nro
jealous of tho rights of widows and or
phans, nnd which establish n special
Stato Department for tho supervision of
Insuranco companies. No Stato offers
a better law, and of courso the National
Government has no general insuranco
Department.
3. By its charter its investments nro
of tho most safe kind. Panics in Rail
Road bonds or Bank stock cannot effect
tho stability of this company.
1. It lias a largo cash capital belonging
to the insured of over fico million dollars,
ana by tho terms of Its charter this cap
ital i always exceed the liabilities.
5. Its rates aro as low as thoso of any
other first-class company.
o. it is a cash company. It tlocs no
credit business. Its premiums nro cash
and it pays its losses in cash. No notes
standing as a "lien on tho policy."
7. Its premiums grow less year nfter
year, and gives an increasing policy.
8. It Insures on every leaslblo and
safo plan.
9. It give, registered policies undor
tho great teal of the State Department
of New York secured by special de
posit. 10. Its dividends aro all cash and on
thd contribution plan tho only equita
ble nnd just plnn.
11. Its President is Pliny Freeman,
that veteran "Father of American lifo
Insuranco;" sco Mass. Ins. Rep. 1808,1
who Is tho author of tho non-forfoltlng
plan.
12. All tho policies of tills compnny
aro non-forfeiting.
in met wo linvo not room to glvo all
its advantages. As an Indication of our
individual opinion however wo say that
after careful Investigation, wo havo in
sured in it ourselves, and say to our
mentis, go then and do likewise Mr.
Roblson tho ngent hero is always
reauy to givo inronnation on tho sub
Ject of lifo insurance.
ui;.v. Mi3Ani:'a Position. General
Meado's endorsement of Judgo Packer
Is exciting no llttlo nttentlon. That
nblo nnd independent Republican news
paper, tho Now York Sun, speaks thus :
lias uen. Meado gono over to tho
Democratic pary? Ho used to bo n
siuruy uepuuiican, ami yet ho has now
been bannuotlnL with Ar.i l,ir-ur
Democratic candldato for Governor, of
Pennsylvania. In tho genial enthusi
asm oi tho feast, tho gallant General
proposed a toast to which no Democrat
could object. "Our host" so rail tho
sentiment "Our host, tho Hou. Asa
Packer : may his successes In'tho past bo
eclipsed by his successes In tho future."
After that wo must of course expect
that tho General will voto for Mr.
Packer on the 12th ol October next.
Of courso General Meado will votoror
Packer. Ho is a man of too much hon
or and lutrgrily to touch the miserable
creature, who sectirod a ronomlnatlon
by packing tho Republican Stato Con-
vcntlon with tho tools of tho legislative
inioves.

Imps an article from tho pen of "only
man" might bo of interest to your lady
rcaders,l havo condcscondcd to pen tho
following lines:
Wo are ns a race you well know tlio
most powerful of tho earth. What docs
beauty of feature and dollcncy of form
nraouut to when their fair owners nro
mufor Rill itpctlon to "only a man."
Old maids, lu particular, delight In
condcmnlngand ridiculing our sex but It
is only in reality nn attempt to hldo tho
vexation nnd grief which they feel bo
cause of their Inability to secure ono of
them for better or for worse, for lovo or
for money. And this reminds mo of a
llttlo Incident which occurred some
tlmo slnco In our llttlo place.
Two ladles of uncertain ngo wero out
ono evening taking a rldo In n one horse
spring wagon and afterwards ono of
them tried to givo nn ticwipuon oi u
butsluiully failed. Not only was tho
pootry very poor but the incident, was
really nothing. They wcro in perieci ter
ror tho wholo time as all cowards gen
orally are.and they watched thosky not
in son its lirv.mtv as llicv proiess, out.
In reality lu fear lest tho rain
should como and wash all their beauty
nu-av. ns paint nnd powder nro not wnt
cr proof, and moreover tneso samo oiu
7iaids have betrayed a certain degreoof
Interest in our sex by their expressions
of great contempt insomuch ns wo nro
"only a man."
Howcondesccndinglt must havo been
for Inez to accept the assistance of "only
a man" but then wo know their nvcr
slon Is only reigned and I wager they
would willingly givo upthelroldHiciM
enhoodsat tho first offer of "only a man"
but enough for tho present
Li:o.
